Fishes like eelpouts have weak skeletons, without much muscle, so they don't grow very large or swim very fast. They are normally upto 7 inches or 17 cm in size. An eelpout isn't really an eel; it just looks like one, with its long, thin body. It's frequently seen curled up into an "O"—scientists think eelpouts might be disguising themselves to avoid being eaten. Distribution : Mostly these are distributed from British Columbia to central Mexico, at depths between 314 and 7,200 feet or 96-2,195 meters. Food : They are mostly eating euphausiids, copepods, salps, amphipods, shrimp.
